After Reddit changed their upvoting to not be a 1:1 (meaning 1 upvote means 1 person liked it), I kind of started wanting to move away. It made it really hard to track how popular something is vs how promoted it is.

I listened to the interview of Apollo’s dev, and the interviewer brought up a good point (the only good point I’ve heard on the other side of this). Natural language models are becoming very popular, and lots of companies are building them. To do this, they are scraping the web, and especially places like Reddit. It sounds like Reddit wants to capitalize on this by increasing their API’s to these (absurdly) high prices.

Another Simple Login user here. Been using for years now, and since the partnership(?) with Proton, it’s included with my membership which is great.
Definitely trying one for my next build.
Yes, very good points. I am not a ML expert by any means, but it does seem like companies are in a bit of an arms race right now, and are just trying to grow large models without doing it properly.
